Information Access Server: Planning and Configuring

Phase M. Generating a Report to Verify the Configuration 

You used the List and Show screens to check your configuration in several
of the phases.  Now you'll use the Report Main screen to print a complete
report on how Access Server has been configured.  If you don't want to
generate this report, skip to Step M-7.

When the product is installed, password options are set so that passwords
are displayed in the Configuration screens and in printouts from those
screens, but suppressed in reports generated from the Report Main screen.
If you want passwords suppressed in this report, skip to Step M-3.

Generating a Report 

Primary DBAs will get a full report, secondary DBAs will get a "stripped
down" report that shows only those details that concern data sources and
tables in the secondary DBA's control.
